sert that they saw me III a compromising

BRAVE MRS. WILLouGHBY.
A Woman Who Defended Her Hus-
bands Property Against a Railway.
From, The Philadelphia Press.


From the Philadelphia Press.
COLUMBIA. S. c., Aug. 24-T. c. Will
loughby well-to-do planter Of Williams
burg county, owns and operates tramroad
which runs from Scranton, station on the
Northeastern railroad, to Mr.. Wilioughby's
saw mills, several miles in the interior. The
rails were rented from the railroad com
pany, between whom and Mr.. Willoughby
dispute has arisen concerning the rental.
4 few days ago, taking advantage OF Mr..
N1lloughbys absence in Philadelphia, the
assistant superintendent and roadmaster OF
the railroad, with material train and
force of hands, and accompanied by the
county sheriff went to the end Of the tram
road and begun tearing up the rails as they
returned. After their wori- the train was
loaded and ordered to be run out on the
main line
Before it had reached the junction, how
ever, Mrs. Willoughby, who is a handsome
Kentucky woman, took up position on the
tramroad in front of the engine, declared
that the train should proceed no further
and that she would hold the fort until her
husbands return She had q rocking chair
and sofa brought out and making herself
as comfortable as possible under the clrcum-
stances remained there throughout the
night Next morning the railroads attor-
ney arrived upon the scene and endeavored
to persuade Mrs. Willoughby to vacate her
position, but his eloguence was wasted, the
plucky woman remaining deaf to all argu-
mentS Later in the afternoon compro-
mise was affected, providing that if Mrs.
Willoughby would vacate that night and
let the engine out it would be put back in
the same position next morning and remain
there until she secured counsel.
This agreement was carried out, and the
following morning two lawyers arrived TO
represent Mr. Willoughby. A consultation
was held between the three lawyers, but no
agreement could be arrived at. The rail
road attorney then ordered the railroaders
TO come out with the iron, whereupon Mrs.
Willoughbys men proceeded TO tear up the
rails in front of the engine. A few spikes
were drawn, but the railroad hands drove
them again, and the train was moving out.
At this juncture Mrs. Willoughby came up
and resumed her position on the track,
facing the advancing engine. Cries were
made about the same time by Mrs. Will
loughby's men for guns and pistols. a six
teen-shooter rifle was placed in Mrs. VIII
loughbys hands, and as the engine approach
ed her she leveled the piece at the engineer
and she ordered him to stop. He obeyed the
order instantly and here the matter rested
until another consultation was held, when
a compromise satisfactory to Mrs. Willough-
by was agreed upon and the train was finally
permitted to depart.

this morning, after an hours speech by Mr..

ton of the sale of the State road for the

pass the House The sentiment seems to be
to leave the question for the next Legisla-
ture, which properly has the disposition
of it.

CONVICT CAMP CRUELTY.
Gov. Gordons Vigorous Action Meet.
ing With General Approval.

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 26-There is moth
ing new in the executive office in the Bing-
ham convict camp matter except that the
written report Of Dr. Westmoreland was
submitted to-day. Dr.. Westmoreland re-
turned from the camps last night and re
ports on his examination of convicts whom
he describes as inhumanly beaten. In the
case of some of them the skin is almost
completely taken off the buttocks. Public
opinion strongly indorses Gov. Gordons
action, and large number of citizens
have called upon him to per-
sonally express their warm approval
The Governor is firm in his determination
to see the law strictly enforced even to the
cancellation Of the lease, and the probability
is, as the Legislature is fortunately in SEES
sion, that it will be called on to make pro-
vision for the convict camps Nos. 2 and g.
This may help that body TO a solution of the
convict question.

SAVED BY A TERRIER.
A Maconite Awakened by His Dog
Finds His House on Fire.


MACON, GA, Aug. 26.-Mr. William
Rogers had narrow escape this morning
about o'clock from death in the flames.
He has been occupying house recently
built near Unionville. Mr.. Rogers slept
last night with the door of his house open,
and left a lamp burning. He was awakened
by little pet Scotch terrier jumping on his
bed and barking and crawling over his face
As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the
dog he knew that something serious was the
matter, and at the same moment felt great
warmth and heard the cracking and snap
ping of fire. He sprang out of bed and dis
covered that the entire house was
wrapt in flames and being rapidly
destroyed. The fire had made such head
way that he could not save his household
effects. The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the bursting of the lamp that had
been left burning when he went to bed. The
house was insured for 81 400 in the Lam
cashire company, represented in Macon by
L. u. Conner.
SUDDEN DEATH.

aged about 90 years, died suddenly while

trouble, though he had suffered some time
from consumption. There was no one in
the shop at the time but little negro boy
in the employ of Mr.. Harrington. A few
moments before his death he told the boy to
hurry up and finish his work as he wished
to go home. The boy stepped into an ad-
joining room and began the work. In a few
moments a messenger was sent down to Mr.
